What it does
Academic Writing Style is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. A specialized skill that systematically guides academic thesis style, structure, and citation rules. Used by writing-coach and proofreader agents to improve academic writing quality and verify format compliance. Automatically applied in contexts such as 'academic style', 'thesis structure', 'citation format', 'APA style', 'argumentation structure', 'scholarly expression'. However, running plagiarism detection software (Turnitin) and journal submission on behalf of the user are outside the scope of this skill.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Scientific writing, Essays and academic help and Citation management. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Scientific writing
- Tasks that involve Essays and academic help
- Tasks that involve Citation management
Example prompts
- “academic style”
- “thesis structure”
- “citation format”
- “/academic-writing-style”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Research design and rationale
- Participants (population, sample, selection criteria)
- Measurement instruments (item composition, validity, reliability)
- Data collection procedures
- Analysis methods and rationale
- Ethical considerations (IRB, etc.)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
doi.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Academic Writing Style loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 460 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Per-Chapter Thesis Structure and Writing Guide
Chapter 1: Introduction
| Component | Purpose | Length Guideline |
|---|---|---|
| Research background | Engage the reader, establish context | 30-40% of chapter |
| Problem statement | Justify the need for research, prior study limitations | 20-30% |
| Research purpose | State specific objectives | 10% |
| Research questions/hypotheses | Specify questions to be investigated | 10% |
| Research scope | Temporal/spatial/subject boundaries | 10% |
| Thesis organization | Chapter-by-chapter overview | 5% |
Introduction funnel structure:
[Broad] Macro context, societal issues
|
[Medium] Academic context, prior research trajectory
|
[Narrow] Research gap, unresolved questions
|
[Pinpoint] This study's purpose and questionsChapter 2: Theoretical Background / Literature Review
Organizational approaches:
| Approach | Best suited when |
|---|---|
| Thematic | Addressing multiple theories/variables |
| Chronological | Development process matters |
| Methodological | Comparing methods is central |
| Theoretical | Comparing competing theories |
Critical review sentence patterns:
- "While studies have found ~, they have the limitation of ~"
- "The findings of ~ and ~ are contradictory, indicating the need for further research"
- "Prior studies have overlooked ~, which means ~"
Chapter 3: Research Methods
Required components:
- Research design and rationale
- Participants (population, sample, selection criteria)
- Measurement instruments (item composition, validity, reliability)
- Data collection procedures
- Analysis methods and rationale
- Ethical considerations (IRB, etc.)
Chapter 4: Results
Writing principles:
- Report results only; interpretation goes in Chapter 5
- Follow statistical reporting format (APA: t(24) = 2.31, p = .029)
- Always reference tables/figures in the body text
- Report in the order of research questions/hypotheses
Chapter 5: Discussion
Summary of results -> Comparison with prior studies -> Theoretical implications -> Practical implications -> Limitations -> Future research suggestionsAcademic Style Rules
